Now we, who have fought valiantly accross that bridge know, beyond the shadow of a doubt that you could have a char who was in on a stomping of Ol' Red, relatively unscathed die 15 times from the door to the island, on that bridge. And if the sea of lizards spiders and other ilk wasn't enough, the tangle weeds are a real drag too, literally on your movement rate. There is no real feasible strategy to this fight, it is melee combat, you and your companions, hopefully, for i have found myself there alone many times. There will be no sneaking accross either, because their spot skill is insanely high. I would rathler fight Thurkul, on lvl 1, naked with a toothpick than to have to fight solo accross that bridge. It has been done, just as red has been beaten by solo char's, but the event is rare, to be sure, with legal chars, and probably far between. This is one of the battles that you remember fondly, and painfully as you rub the bruises the healers can't heal. Not just because it's hard either, but it comes in waves, that start when you try to get in the door, and doesn't stop until you are almost to the door to lvl 11. But getting accross the bridge will always be to the forefront of things you remember about that battle.
